What Elementary School Did You Go To?
You don't have to mention the name.
Mine was a Catholic School,1st Grade through 8th Grade,learned a lot,those Nuns where tuff;)
Endwell Elementary, Endwell, NY
Parochial school K-8. A third of the teachers were Sisters of Charity (Mother Seton’s canonization was a BIG deal) and the rest were lay women, most of them mother’s in the parish.
Yep,mine is now all in on the Social Justice stuff.
I grew up in Ventura, California. Here’s the list of schools I attended in K-6th grades: Washington, Mound, Montavo, Mound, Loma Linda, and Blanche Reynolds 1948-1956.
Where is that church? The steeple/spire looks like it was inspired by Spanish architecture.
Gus A. Oleson Elementary School, Houston TX
And the place is still standing?
I went to Fremont Elementary in East Long Beach, California starting back in the early 1950’s, and through sixth grade.
Back then Long Beach Unified School District was rated the best in the nation, and then came the Moonbeams, and that was the end of that.
Ottawa public school. I am old enough to remember starting the morning by signing ‘O Canada’ and ‘God Save The Queen’. This was followed by reciting, ‘The Lord’s Prayer’. In my class, one boy was Jewish and he was excused for the prayer and went into the hallway during the recitation.
I guess it didn’t end well.
We had fun back then.
We always started our school day with the Pledge of Allegiance. That was in the 50’s, and we may have said a prayer, but I’m so old I can’t remember. I do remember one classroom from grammar school that had a sign under the clock that said: “Time will pass...will you?”
Are you talking about Mount St. Mary’s which is up the hill from the Marymount Grammar School?
Marymount is right on Sunset Blvd. Right across the street is St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church. It is a one story traditional, with a huge lawn out front. The PoolHouse to the side.
I also went to Marymount Girls School in Westwood, right across the street from UCLA on Deadman’s Curve. This high school has a large statue of Christ standing in a grotto. He often had a cigar in his outstretched hands. :o)
There are people reading my answer and going, “That explains a lot”.
I passed through the most liberal public school system in Massachusetts—The Lincoln public schools. The very heart of liberal darkness.
There may be a more liberal public school system somewhere but none can be more arrogant than the educators in Lincoln, Massachusetts. Lincoln attracts people like Elizabeth Warren and John Kerry. Neither of them live there, but Lincoln is loaded with snooty professors and filthy rich trust funders who are of that type. Don’t get me wrong. There are plenty of good Americans in that town, too.
My folks were conservatives from the Mid West who ended up there after my Dad retired from a Navy career and got a job on Route 128 (major highway circling Boston with lots of good jobs). It was a hellacious place to grow up but I’m like Rush in that I know liberals like I know the back of my hand. I had lots of chances to study them closely.
Many of my friends are liberals. My very best friend—now dead—was a sincere liberal. He was misguided but not phony.
I now live in Vermont in the liberal bastion of Chittenden County, where Bernie Sanders the Communist got his start in politics.
Yeah, me too. Small town Missouri, it was 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6 together.
Graduating class was 20; 10 boys and 10 girls.
St.James grammar school in Johnson City NY and then Catholic Central HS in Binghamton....
Phoebus elementary school, Hampton, VA.
Ruus Elementary and Peixoto Elementary, both in Hayward, California.
Quite a while ago. I won’t say how long, but we learned to nap flint for arrowheads and studied Latin - NOT as a second language... (by the way, you don’t know what you’re missing if you’ve never eaten woolly mammoth steaks.)
